Guess What!?!?

I did some golfing today and it helped me to remember how much I liked it. Here are some helpful hints to you golfers out there and to myself for next time.

• I do a really nice job using the 7 iron. I should use it more.
• Don't always try to kill the ball, just a nice tap will get it further than you expected.
• Telling yourself to kill the ball will make the swing and miss even more spectacular.
• Hitting balls by guys to talk to them, may make them laugh, but hitting a guy with your ball doesn't make them laugh.
• Playing with teenagers in front of you can be funny for a bit, but when they wait for you to catch up to them so they can re-enact the raising of the flag with 4 army soldiers at the last two holes, they are trying to get your attention and aren't so funny.
• Playing with men behind you, will make you more conscious of your game and will make you play faster, as to not slow them down.
• Remember you paid good money too, don't let anyone hurry you up on the golf course.
• Trees on the golf course make for great stoppers of your ball, so they don't go into the street and hit a car or a biker on the trail.
• Hills do the same thing.
• The grass around the hole is faster and will make your ball move faster.
• Eventhough you never loose a ball, by the end you will be using a white ball and a white tee, when you started with a yellow ball and yellow tee.
• Golf with someone who will share in your misery and cheer you on with your great shots.
• Discussion on a golf course can happen, but beware of how loud you are talking and the distance from which you stand apart, because there are tons of other ears on that course.
• The neck of the golf cart you are renting is in the shop, not out on the cart.

Keep all these things in mind and you will have a great time. I even made par on one of the holes today. It was a good golf day.
